Mr Henry G. Chapman
Dear Sir yours of Dec r 19 th came to hand you wished me inform you whether our records afford any evidence of the marriage of Ezra Ezra Geer or the births of their children I find no record of their marriage nor the births of their children but I find in the records that he bought lands in this Town in 1792 & 1794 - I have omitted answering your request sooner from the fact of their being an aged man in Town by the name of William Warner I spoke to him about Ezra Geer & Abigail Warner - he says he was well acquainted with them & that Abigail was own Aunt to him he told where he was married & the name of their children I think he told me Abigail was his 2 nd wife - he says he died up north & the family moved west - I had but a few moments time with him & I expected to see him again soon & learn more of the particulars but he is very dim-sighted & I am myself also & of course I have had no means of any further knowledge of the family

B.B. Chapman Esq.
Yours of the 28 th of June is rec d and in answer I would say, that there is no record of either the birth or marriage of Abigail Warner on the town records of this town.
What was her father's name? and where was the residence of her? But few marriages or births were put on record in those days -
Washington was made a town in 1770 it was taken from Woodbury, Kent, New Milford & Shilapack a You may find what you wish by advising the lower blocks of Woodbury, Kent, Litchfield & New Milford perhaps -
Yours with respect

Mr Chapman
Sir I received your communication in due time. I can find nothing on the records of this town with regard to the marriage of Ezra Gear, there is no record of any marriage so far back as 1779. I have consulted some of the oldest persons in town respecting Mr Gear and they well remember him, and say that he did not live in town long. It is the opinion of one aged man that he was married in Kent Conn, as he says they came from there. This is all the information I can afford you about the man
Yours Respectfully,
Edward Williams Town Clerk

Pension Office February 19 th 1852.
Sir:
In the case of Abigail Deer dead as the family record is of recent manufacture, there must be an affidavit of the Clerk of the Town in which she was married as to the date of the marriage. Of the services of her husband there is no proof either parole or record, while both species of evidence are requisite

From my knowledge of the parties & the circumstances under which the claim was made, I have no doubt as to the justice of it & to their right to all they claim. Most of the papers have been in my hands for sometime and it is by my neglect that they have not been forwarded before. Henry G. Chapman of this place is now the Agent for the claim, with whom you will correspond hereafter.
